Eastman vs Hopkins...Whats your pick and why?

[spinksjinx]

Im going with Eastman, I am afraid that Bernard wont make it to his 20 defense, this fight has been a long time coming and I think Eastman will dig down deep and surprise us all. Plus their is a few noteworthy factors as to why I believe this....Sure it may be superstitious to say the least but it has been proven to be true time and time again.



Call me crazy but this curse has proven true over and over again.


My second superstitious reasoning is that Bernard always trains on the sunny beach in Miami and this time around he opted to train in California instead...De La Hoya opted to train in Florida for the sturm fight and look what happened. I think this is going to cause problems for Bernard, because by training in California it may mean he is worrying to much about the business aspect of his new business venture and while Eastman (not to be taken lightly) has no stress and pressure on him all the attention is on Bernard (for once) and Eastman has had the tools to do it and I wont be surprised for an upset.


Call me crazy but im going with Eastman over a 12 round Unanimous Decision!

the worst happens from the curse. hopkins will probably get ko'd the way jones did the first time. i really wanna see hopkins get to 20 defences, hope he's focused as always. can you imagine if eastman walked away with all four middleweight belts in one night.

Eastman vs Hopkins...Whats your pick and why?

Hopkins by KO. He knows that he is close to the end of his career, he has to go out better than roy jones and all the other greats did...

Training in California makes me wonder if he is taking it serious though.

I haven't seen Eastman fight recently, it has been a couple years since I last saw him. I am going for a draw on the scorecard with Hopkins losing in the mind of most of us. Does anybody know if there is any bad blood between these two? Should be a great fight, at least it is on paper!

You people can't be serious. This has been Hopkins' dream to get 20 defences. Just because he's training elsewhere doesn't mean he won't stop Eastman late after winning just about every round on the cards..
That whole upset thing was so last year...let it go..
Hopkins by TKO in 10
